Life is Good.

We finally went to the park the other day. It was super crowded! But Orion was so excited to go down the slide and be able to jump and run and play. William was content to just sit and watch everyone play. I did put him in a swing for a little bit though- and he didn't seem to mind. Orion HATED swings at nine months!!

On days when we couldn't get to the park, Orion has enjoyed playing outside in the rocks. Even though it is warm enough to go outside without bundling up, Orion still likes to do it sometimes.

William is doing great!!!! He had his nine month check up last week. He weighed 24 pounds and was 30 inches tall. We also decided to start him on some reflux medicine to see if it helps with the not sleeping and the stuffy nose. His doctor said that it could take up to two weeks to work. The night we started him on the reflux medicine, he sleept through the night. Now he is sleeping very well @ night and taking decent naps. (Ok, he isn't sleeping through the night, but he is only waking up once.)

The other night Orion started crying out. I ran in there to quiet him, before he woke William. No luck, William started crying too. I comforted Orion for a minute and then told him that William would cry for a little bit, but if he was super quiet, William would go to sleep. Orion said ok, he could do that. I held William for a few minutes and then put him back in bed. He started to cry, but I left anyway. He only cried for a few minutes, and then he started talking. Then Orion would talk back. I fell asleep listening to them "talk" to eachother. They both eventually fell asleep with out crying, but I don't know how long they were awake in the middle of the night.

I have been really busy lately too. It seems I have spent more evenings away from home, then here. Philip has put William to bed more times in the last two weeks then I have. But hopefully things will start to slow down a little.

This is a pretty cute video. And yes, I am the one making funny noises trying not to laugh.
